Good summary - as you would expect from Sanil who is one of the most useful educational resources on here - of the review and I think most psychiatrists will find that the conclusions align with our clinical experience.

Rebecca Lawrence You’ll get no compassion from antipsychiatry, Rebecca. They never have answers when asked how they would manage someone with a serious, life-threatening depression or psychosis. They’re far too busy on a self-righteous and destructive trip to actually care about those who suffer.

I assume he is referring to my UCL colleague here, since she does look (from this picture, anyway) as though she has been completely transformed by the money and prestige associated with her famous new book.

Apparently this is the state of the doctors mess at Solihull hospital, a part of University Hospitals Birmingham. Is there a reason you are currently growing a biohazard for your doctors to sit next to whilst they rest? Completely unacceptable.
